Well... if you were the elephant and the little guys with feathers were heckling you with pointy sticks then we can call it an "indian dance". Squishy-squishy-thwupp-spluck!

Give me an underground laboratory, half a dozen atom-smashers, and a beautiful girl in a diaphanous veil waiting to be turned into a chimpanzee, and I care NOT who writes this nation’s laws. ... S.J. Perelman

Just sayin' - Since I'm not Indian except by inspiration - how could it be an Indian dance?

With all that shuffle? Zombie.

There are mythologies that are scattered, broken up, all around us. We stand on what I call the terminal moraine of shattered mythic systems that once structured society. They can be detected all around us. You can select any of these fragments that activate your imagination for your own use. Let it help shape your own relationship to the unconscious system out of which these symbols have come.

I am half cree and half german ,I have been to many pow-wows and danced in the tradtional contests . Danceing and singing by other cultures is fine from what I hear . Do I have to be black to Disco dance? or all white to polka? May be a few bitch , but I say so fuckin what.

I dont even spell Tatonka right its supposed to be Tatanka , but who cares ,enjoy yourself enjoy life.

Let's see, he's from a sub-continent with a population of One Billion, with (recently, at least) thousands of ethnic/linguistic groups, that has been a crossroads of war and trade (both of them bringing in non-native populations) and he looks like someone from a peninsula with a long north/south axis, a crossroads of trade and war, with celtic/germanics in the north and north africans in the south, and maybe, just maybe, some of them look alike.
